Abstract
The invention relates to an insertion instrument for an endoprosthesis (), which comprises a neck part () and a shaft part () which is to be inserted into a medullary cavity, comprising a clamping device () which is provided with a holding fork () and a thrust bearing (), which are embodied in such a manner that the endoprosthesis () is held fixedly in a clamped state and is released in an unclamped state, in addition to a striker device (). The aim of the invention is to simplify the safe and precise insertion thereof such that a guide rail () for a striker element is arranged in a fixed manner on the clamping device () and is oriented in such a manner that a path, which is determined by the guide rail, leads to an end face of the endoprosthesis () which is held in the clamping device ().
